Variation in heat stress-induced antioxidant enzyme activities among three mulberry cultivars
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of high temperature on antioxidant enzymes were investigated in three mulberry (Morus alba L.) cultivars (cv. K-2, MR-2 and BC2-59).
Journal ArticleDOI
Water stress effects on photosynthesis in different mulberry cultivars
TL;DR: Of the five mulberry cultivars subjected to water stress, S-13 and BC2-59 showed higher photosynthetic rates, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase activity, high sucrose phosphate synthase activity and photochemical efficiency of PSII compared to the other varieties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Withanone and caffeic acid phenethyl ester are predicted to interact with main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 and inhibit its activity
TL;DR: Data presented here predicted that these natural compounds may possess the potential to inhibit the functional activity of SARS-CoV-2 protease, and may connect to save time and cost required for designing/development, and initial screening for anti-COVID drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Withanone and Withaferin-A are predicted to interact with transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) and block entry of SARS-CoV-2 into cells.

TL;DR: A homology-based structural model of transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2), a cell surface receptor, required for entry of virus to the target host cell is used, finding that both Wi-A and Wi-N could bind and stably interact at the catalytic site of TMPR SS2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of the NEMO/IKKβ association complex formation, a novel mechanism associated with the NF-κB activation suppression by Withania somnifera’s key metabolite withaferin A
TL;DR: This study attempts to explore NF-κB signalling pathway modulating capability of Withania somnifera’s major constituent WA and to elucidate its possible mode of action using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations studies.
